Chapter 389 - 128: Returning to the Realm of Earthly Immortals
"I’m sorry, if I hadn’t been there at that time, you clearly could have run away by yourself, I’m sorry..."
The girl beside him was sobbing and apologizing.
In fact, since he woke up, the girl had said a lot.
But Jiang Si hadn’t listened at all; he looked around at his surroundings.
He should be in some hospital. He reached out to touch the sheets; they felt fine, the smell was fine.
The sounds were fine too, as the nurse pushed the cart by, the clinking of medication bottles was vividly clear.
Nothing was wrong.
And that was the biggest problem.
When he tried to get up, Lu Ya immediately held him down.
"Don’t, don’t move. Your injuries haven’t healed yet!"
While wiping her tears, she frantically tried to hold him down, but was afraid of hurting him, so she didn’t dare to use force. Nevertheless, Jiang Si managed to sit up smoothly.
"What time is it now?"
His voice was hoarse the first time he spoke, the raw pain in his throat felt incredibly real.
His fractured right leg still ached faintly, and there was a disjointed tearing sensation in his organs, the pain wasn’t strong, but the feeling of nausea was intensely strong.
Most importantly.
This pathetic body, so pathetic Jiang Si couldn’t bear it.
"It’s been half a year since you fell unconscious..."
Lying in bed for half a year, no wonder.
Jiang Si immediately tried to stand up, prompting Lu Ya to panic and call out to the nurse, "Nurse, he’s trying to get up!"
The nurse rushed over and pinned Jiang Si down, trying to get him back into bed.
With a cold snort, Jiang Si tried to push the nurse away.
Then he found out he could barely muster any strength in his hands.
Not just his hands, but his entire body lacked strength, so he was easily pinned back down by the nurse.
"What are you snorting at, trying to mess around while you’re a patient? Want to die faster?"
The nurse had quite a temper, grumbled a bit, and then removed the IV from his hand, "I’ll get a doctor to check on you, don’t move around."
Staring blankly at the ceiling, Jiang Si then realized.
Here, he was just an ordinary person.
Although he broke through his limits and unlocked the Genetic Lock, stopping a small truck with a kick, because of that, now his body may even be inferior to an ordinary person’s.
Muscle swelling, blood vessel blockage, no doubt the cost of unlocking the Genetic Lock.
If there was doubt before, now it was almost certain, he really did unlock the Genetic Lock in the end.
However, modern medicine can’t possibly treat the aftereffects of the Genetic Lock.
A bit troublesome, wanting to start over seems unlikely, it’s different from the first time losing his power.
Because at that time, he was reincarnated, able to train again from childhood, but the current situation is different.
He doesn’t even have the chance to start over again.
That one kick wasted not only his right leg, his entire body had issues.
Even retraining would only make his body worsen.
Death isn’t even surprising.
This was the price of unlocking the Genetic Lock, absolutely no room for maneuver.
And this was something that the doctor who came to check on him also realized.
"Truly a miracle, by rights, he should be stuck in a vegetative state for life."
"Thank you, doctor, thank you!"
"It has nothing to do with us, it must be because you stayed by his side, awakening him. Medical miracles require sincerity."
"It had nothing, to do with me..."
After talking to Lu Ya, the doctor checked Jiang Si’s limbs, "Your body, in the future, can’t engage in strenuous exercise. Be careful yourself, stay hospitalized for observation, and if there are no other problems, we can proceed with the discharge procedures..."
The doctor rambled on with a bunch of precautions, Jiang Si only asked, "Can I recover? I need to get stronger, strenuous exercise is indispensable."
"I told you it’s not possible."
After the doctor left, Jiang Si stared at the ceiling lost in thought for a long time, then glanced back at Lu Ya.
The girl was peeling an apple.
Her originally long hair was cut short, her face seemed thinner than in his memory, a plain short white shirt with straight-leg jeans, if memory served, she used to like flashy accessories.
But now, aside from a simple necklace, even the earrings were gone.
Noticing Jiang Si staring at her ears, Lu Ya touched them, "Wh-Why?"
"Are you a Magical Girl?"
"Huh?" Lu Ya looked at him blankly, "M-Magical Girl? I haven’t, watched it in a long time..."
Then she whispered, "Isn’t it supposed to be web novels?"
Of course, because he heard the word ’miracle.’
So Jiang Si guessed she might be a Magical Girl, but clearly, it was an overthought.
"Although I can’t use magic, I-I started training properly like you too, look."
Saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, showing her fair arm.
Still the same smoothness, but now, you could see traces of muscle.
For a girl with no foundation, reaching this level was indeed not bad.
"Is there no Magical Girl in this world?"
"There’s no such thing, even Cultivation Immortality doesn’t exist, how could there be a Magical Girl..."
So saying, realizing something, Lu Ya lowered her head, feeling a bit upset:
"I’m sorry, because of me, you got so severely injured, and now you can’t keep getting stronger..."
"It’s none of your business, don’t flatter yourself."
